Tom Isaacs Biography
Tom Isaacs (2 April 1968 – 31 May 2017) was a British charity fundraiser and the President of The Cure Parkinson’s Trust, which he co-founded. Among other achievements, he completed a 4,500-mile charity walk around the coast of Britain in order to raise funds for research into Parkinson’s disease
Isaacs, the son of a solicitor, trained as a surveyor, but was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in his mid-twenties, while working in London. He went on to found The Cure Parkinson’s Trust, with others he had met in the course of his sponsored walk, and raised around £350,000 in total for medical research. He was named Charity Personality of the Year in 2004 and was one of the bearers of the Olympic torch in 2012.
Isaacs was one of the participants in a revolutionary trial of the drug GDNF which took place between 2012 and 2017, in which 41 Parkinson’s sufferers had surgery to introduce implants that enabled the drug to be delivered direct to their brain cells, in the hope that the cells contributing to Parkinson’s could be repaired.
In 2019, the BBC screened a two-part documentary about the GDNF trial, in which Isaacs played a leading role. One reviewer referred to Isaacs’ “warmth and charm” as a factor which made the documentary “overwhelmingly and heartbreakingly intimate”.
